Hi Darlin'!
Didn't sleep well, so woke up feeling tired, but that didn't stop me from my one final chore on the floor today. I measured the floor where I needed to put the strip linking the two linoleum pieces, marked my metal strip, and carefully cut it with my generic Dremel, and for some reason, it was too long! Not by much, not enough to be able to make another cut, but just enough not to lie flat, so I had to spend another half an hour carefully sanding down the cut end until it finally fit correctly. A few nails later, and it was perfect! Job done! I felt pretty lazy today, figured I needed to take the rest of the day off, so I mostly just spent it working on the computer. I've got myself all lathered up about the route I'm taking, apparently there is a very long, steep drop coming out of that stable I finally found that would take me in, I'm sure it will be another white knuckle drive, not looking forward to it, but there doesn't seem to be any other way than to take the turnpike, and that's quite a ways out of the way, not to mention expensive. I read on one trucker site that to cross PA with an 18-wheeler is $180! That's just crazy! Anyway, I hope I don't regret my decision to take this route, it really is the shortest. According to flattestroute.com, it's still all less than 10% grade, apparently it's about 6%, but it's very long. Finally just had to let that anxiety got, read a bit, watched some TV, including a 2024 movie with Shirley Maclaine! I can't believe she's still making movies! She was born a month after you, so she's 90, good for her! Had leftover Indian for dinner, plus the lovely ice cream stick they gave us on the way out last night, ready for my shower and bed, hoping to get a better night sleep tonight. Good night, sweetheart! Love you!
